## What reviewers found

### Eufy 11S Max

- TechHive: The jump to 2,000 Pa lifted more crumbs and pet hair, especially on carpet, and it crossed carpet to hardwood smoothly. It navigates by driving straight and turning on contact, so cables should be tidied. [Source](https://www.techhive.com/article/583831/eufy-robovac-11s-max-review.html)
- The Ambient: Removed most of the dirt in its runs and was very quiet in standard mode, but with no app or mapping it bounced around at random, choked on cables and got wedged between chairs. [Source](https://www.the-ambient.com/?p=11324)
- Mighty Gadget (87%): Left a full bin after each room and rarely caught on cables; the reviewer did not run formal suction tests. [Source](https://mightygadget.co.uk/?p=24993)

### Roborock Q7 M5+

- Tom's Guide: Tested the Q7 M5 robot without the dock: 93.3% overall pickup on tile and 85% on carpet, with 70% of pet and human hair on carpet. Human hair caught on the brush roll and the mop only handled light dirt. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/roborock-q7-m5-robot-vacuum-review)
- TechRadar: Called the Q7 M5 a brilliant budget bot with accurate mapping and strong pet hair pickup, but it hit every test object, long hair still wrapped the brush and the app had several glitches. Subscores: Value 4/5, Performance 4/5, App 3.5/5. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/roborock-q7-m5-robot-vacuum-review)
- Vacuum Wars (2.01 Vacuum Wars stars): Above average suction and navigation speed, but average results on embedded sand (75%) and flattened pet hair (79%), 43% hair wrap, and heavy water use when mopping. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-q7-m5-and-m5-review/)
